[QUOTE="KawieKX125, post: 171399, member: 20140"] Had the same problem. Here is what you do. 1)Get a very powerful air impact wrench. 2)Spin the bolt VERY fast so that the plastic heats up. 3)Use a big flat screwdriver behind the panel and the washer to pop the insert out of the tank. 4)Use a drill bit(by hand) to remove all the extra plastic out of the hole that the insert came out of. 5)Clean it out and use epoxy to reinstall it making sure that it does not get int he threads. 6)Use liberal antisieze and never tighten the bolt much. After washing check it to see if it is siezed. The epoxy works fine. It will pop back out in bad crashes but just reeinstall it and you are fine. You may want to use JB weld, but epoxy has been very good to me. It is very hard to take the insert out without spinning it to melt the tank a bit. The shroud will also get ruined if you are not careful and don't use a big flat screwdriver. If you still have trouble doing it, and you want it done, I will do it for free if you can get the tank/shroud assembly to me. Don't fret, there is alot of material around the insert and it is very hard to ruin the tank itself. Hope I helped.:) [/QUOTE]
